Described by James Twohig, Valero’s director of Ireland operations, as a pinnacleof service station development, the new station perfectly reflects Valero’s forward-looking approach to service station development.
“In every aspect of its design and execution, Parkway is a flagship for the Texaco brand; it’s a pointer to the approach other site owners might expect when coming to Valero to explore new opportunities and discuss future expansion plans,” said James Twohig.
A model of 21st century service station design, it’s equipped to service the needs of motorists and residents in Limerick and the Mid-West for generations to come. From the air, its positioning within a suburban setting bordered by two busy roadways illustrates the care and sensitivity that went into its design and orientation.
Equipped with fast-fill pump islands to refuel up to 12 vehicles at any one time, Parkway also welcomes trucks with an off-island pump point and AdBlue facility. Other features include a latest-generation car wash and an adjacent car vacuum, tyre check and water fill facility. Customers with a disability have dedicated car spaces, audio loop, dedicated toilets, a disability counter and pump assistance on request.
